1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Cannabidiol (CBD) reduces the frequency of seizures in individuals with specific epileptic syndromes, but its effectiveness for other types of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) is unclear. CYP450 enzymes primarily metabolize CBD. The aim of this study was to identify CYP450 genotypes regarding the response of CBD treatment concomitant with anti-seizure drugs in patients with DRE. Methods: This observational, retrospective, comparative study examined patients with DRE who incorporated CBD into their treatment. Genomic DNA was extracted from the patients' blood. Patients were divided into two groups: CBD responders and CBD non-responders. Six genetic variants of CYP450 genes were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Statistical significance was determined using Fisher's exact, chi-squared, and Mann-Whitney Results: This study examined 47 patients with DRE, of which 68% showed a positive response to CBD treatment in combination with their current medications. Among the patients who did not respond to adjuvant treatment with CBD, the Conclusion: Treatment with CBD reduced seizures in most patients (68%), which was independent of etiology and seizure type.
